December 31st isn't just about counting down to midnight. It's also National Champagne Day—because what better way to ring in a new year than with bubbles? Fun fact: New Year's Eve crushes every other day of the year when it comes to champagne sales, and it's not even close.

But wait, there's more! Today also marks National No Interruptions Day (the last working day of the year, so get it done!) and National Make Up Your Mind Day—perfect timing for locking in those New Year's resolutions.
